When he got home, Zhao Ning had already sent away all the guests who came to congratulate him, and he was counting the gifts and making a book together with Yuan Niang.

Li Baolu looked at Yuan Niang's face, and warned, "Although you are healthy, you have not yet reached three months, so you should rest more. Let Honghua do these things. She is familiar with the matter and can help you."

   Zhao Ning was stunned for a moment, then he reacted immediately, and quickly supported Yuan Niang and said, "Yes, you should rest more now."

   Yuanniang blushed and said, "I didn't have any special reaction either. I thought that people in the village could go to the ground when they were pregnant, so..."

   "That's because they have no conditions, but I don't allow you to be so tired." Zhao Ning took her hand and said, "Go, leave these things to Honghua, and I will help you go back to rest."

   Zhao Ning remembered that Yuan Niang didn't have a lunch break today, and he felt distressed.

  Gu Jingyun glanced at the two of them, pulled Li Baolu, turned around and went back to the main hall. Isn't that just bullying them for not having children, hum!

  Safflower was overjoyed when she saw that the uncle and the girl had a good relationship. She patted her chest and said that she would definitely count all these gifts. As soon as the people left, she turned around and ran to ask for hearts. She followed the girl and barely recognized a few words. She really didn't know how to do clerical work such as bookmaking.

   These things were all given to Zhao Ning, and there were no valuables, but I still had to remember them, so I could have a reference for returning gifts in the future.

   After the palace test, Zhao Ning is a jinshi who can seek officials, and there will be more exchanges of people, so he has to make a separate book and separate it from Gu Jingyun.

   Hearts helped Honghua keep the accounts, and Dongfeng ran in from outside and said, "Sister Hongtao, Young Master Gao and the others have come to see the master."

   "How many sons are here?"

   "The nine sons are here."

   Hearts got up immediately after hearing the words, "Please come into the hall, let Qingling serve them tea first, and I'll go and invite the master."

The nine people who visited were all students of Guiwu Class. As soon as the list came out, everyone’s grades were clear at a glance. There was ecstasy in the middle and sadness and disappointment in the middle. Bu Zhongdu quickly regained his sense from his gaffe.

  Beginning to meet those who came to congratulate during the test, and by the way, I asked about the situation of my classmates and classmates and friends.

  When you are sad and lost in the exam, you should cheer up to congratulate others or comfort your friends who also failed the exam.

   As soon as I inquired, I learned something incredible. They actually passed six exams in the fifth class of Guizhou, and Zhao Ning, who scored the best, was ranked tenth.

   This news may not be known to outsiders, but these classmates couldn't help but inquire about each other's grades. After inquiring, they learned this big information, how could they still sit still, and hurried to find Gu Jingyun.

A few people didn't make an agreement before, but unfortunately they met at the entrance of the alley. There were five people who came. They didn't rush to see Gu Jingyun at all. The book boys went to invite other classmates to visit together.

  Because of this high pass rate, everyone's mood is different. Those who pass the test are more excited and have a higher vision. Those who don't pass the test quickly recover, and their fighting spirit is ignited again.

  If Gu Jingyun can maintain this pass rate, how many students will they have in the future? What chance do they have to pass the next imperial examination?

  The imperial examination was originally a single-plank bridge for thousands of people. Naturally, they came with great hopes, but failing to pass the examination was also expected. After all, the number of people admitted every year is very small. This year, it is considered a lot, but only 489 people were admitted.

   If they came from Shandong, Jiangnan, Beijing and other culturally prosperous places, they may still be full of confidence. If not, who knows how many people in this world are ranked ahead of them?

   So comforting himself, the four who did not pass the exam felt a lot more comfortable, and then began to plan for the future.

Those who plan to stay in the capital and want to study at Qingxi Academy, can finally be in the class brought by Gu Jingyun, and then take the exam again after three years. Based on the acceptance rate of the class that Gu Jingyun is taking now, maybe they are that 60%. one of the.

   Those who do not plan to stay in the capital hope to maintain a good relationship with Gu Jingyun, communicate frequently, and continue to ask him if they have any doubts in their studies.

   Everyone didn’t have so much time to mourn the autumn and the spring, so they suppressed all kinds of emotions one after another. Before meeting the husband, the nine people also greeted each other, congratulated or comforted each other.

  The friendship of classmates for half a year is not only a relationship, but also a network of contacts, and depending on the teacher's knowledge, ability, and age, I am afraid that they will have more brothers and sisters in the future.

   In addition to family in-laws, the contacts in the official circles are the strongest relationship between the same family and fellow villagers, in addition to the friendship of the same subject.

  Although they are not as close as Zhao Ning and Qu Jingxi, they are from the same division after all, and they can be related in the future.

  Think about how many years later they went to work in a certain place, discussed their qualifications with a certain official, and mentioned that they had been taught by Gu Jingyun before the entrance examination, which opened the door.

   Those who have passed the exam are paving the way for future careers, and those who did not pass the exam this time are also making plans for the future.

   The students who can spend money to go to the academy to attend cram schools are not very old, they are all under the age of 35, and their family background is not too bad. After all, there are a lot of cram schools.

So everyone agreed on the itinerary for the next three days before Gu Jingyun was still in the future. First, go to the Zhuangyuan Building for a meal, then go to the Huguo Temple to burn incense, take a walk by the way, enjoy the spring, express the ambition in the following chest, and finally Go to Jinhai Lake for a lake tour...

   When Zhao Ning came, everyone was talking lively, "I heard your voices all the way. What are you talking about so lively?"

"I was just saying that you, a newly promoted tribute, would invite us to the Zhuangyuan Building to have a good meal." Gao Kai winked at him and said, "Brother Zhao is the best among our brothers, so this meal cannot be missed. ."

Zhao Ning waved his hand with disgust, "I knew that good things must not be my share, and I was not the only one who passed the exam. I thought you were here to invite Master Xie, and I was just about to eat Mr. "

   "If you want to invite Master Xie to the banquet, don't you dare to pay for the big disciple who opened the door?" Everyone roared and pressed Zhao Ning to ask him to treat him.

   When Gu Jingyun came, he saw Zhao Ning being pinned on the chair and unable to move, but the large flower hall was almost tossed by ten people. He couldn't help coughing lightly, and the students who were still laughing a moment ago let go of Zhao Ning instantly, and stood up with their chests, stomachs and waists straight.

  Gu Jingyun walked over to them and sat down, cleared his throat and asked, "What's going on here?"

  Zhao Ning brought everyone to salute Gu Jingyun, and said with a hilarious smile: "Sir, they were just about to put together the money to invite a thank-you banquet in the Zhuangyuan Building. I said it was too expensive, so don't use it. If they don't listen, they must invite."

   Nine people glared at Zhao Ning.

   Gu Jingyun smiled and shook his head: "No."

  Gao Kai immediately restrained his anger and said respectfully: "The students have learned a lot from studying under Mr.'s for more than half a year. Now that they are leaving, they should invite Mr. Beaufort to drink."

  Gu Jingyun shook his head, "I said no, you will have to take the palace exam again in half a month. If you really have the heart to wait for the palace exam, let's talk about it."

  Gu Jingyun took a sip of tea, then turned his head to the four students who did not take the exam and said, "You don't need to take the palace exam, but you have to write down the questions and answers for this general exam and give it to me again, and I'll give you a review."

   The four of them froze when they heard the words, and immediately cupped their hands and said, "Yes, the students will write it down when they go back."

  Gu Jingyun nodded slightly, glanced at the expressions on the faces of the nine people, and asked with frowns, "Do you have any plans for the past few days?"

   Gao Kai quickly said: "The students and I are discussing to invite a thank-you banquet in the Zhuangyuan Building tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I will invite the husband and wife to visit the Huguo Temple, the day after tomorrow..."

   Gu Jingyun sneered and interrupted him: "Do you think that the jinshi are already in your pocket?"

  The crowd was silent.

"Although this dynasty has no precedent for no honorable scholar, but don't forget, in addition to the first and second tops in the palace examination, there are three tops. I don't think the same jinshi is any worse than the jinshi, but in this world I am as good as me. There are not many enlightened people in general, once you fall into the top three, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

   Several people froze in their hearts and bowed their heads.

Gu Jingyun put down the teacup heavily, and said with a sullen face, "You should study behind closed doors these few days. There will be time for those entertainments to wait for you to pass the imperial examination. At that time, the wine and food in the Zhuangyuan Building will be better, and the scenery of Huguo Temple will be more beautiful. "

   Looking at the students who couldn't tell the difference, Gu Jingyun waved his hand in annoyance: "Go on!"

The ten people did not dare to utter a word, and they bowed and retreated without saying a word for a long time. When the nine people left the Shi'an Academy, they let out a sigh of relief, and they all pulled Zhao Ning and said, "Mr. Gu has become more and more dignified, you **** live with him. How can you bear it together?"

   Zhao Ning rolled his eyes at the nine people. He would tell them that he and Gu Jingyun were both teachers and friends. Except for being stricter in study, did he indulge him the rest of the time?

   Zhao Ning sent the nine people out of the gate and waved: "In the next half month, I will be studying behind closed doors. See you at the palace exam."

   "This is impossible. If I have any doubts, I still have to ask Mr. Gu for advice. I will inevitably have to meet at that time."

   The four who didn't pass the exam even said, "We also have to write the answer sheet silently behind closed doors. We will come to the door in five days at most, so I'm afraid we will meet before your palace exam. Brother Zhao, don't dislike it."

   Zhao Ning looked at them with disgust and said, "Can you not come if I dislike you?"

   "Cut!" The remaining lost and cautiously disappeared, the ten people looked at each other and smiled in relief, and they all handed over to Zhao Ning to say goodbye.

   Zhao Ning smiled and sent them to the alley, and then turned back.

Gu Jingyun was waiting for him in the study, and when he saw him coming, he handed him a stack of Di newspapers, "This is the Di newspapers that I selected, read them in circles, and write them in triangles and give them to me. "

   Zhao Ning opened his mouth slightly, and dumbly hugged the full of Di Bao.
